One must be coming up soon I'd say.

As some members might remember, a group tried to organise one a few years ago. The plane company had to get permission from Plod and they wouldn't give it. Good old boys in blue, always full of the joys of spring. So if anyone has any bright ideas, let's hear em.

Not quite. Did we not lose a Manx Cup tie to them at the Turd in about 1987, maybe 1-2. I am guessing the year but seem to remember it being just after the Full Members Cup win as 1 of my mates was saying on the way out of the ground that he would rather have lost at Wembley than in this pre-season game. With hindsight I don't think he meant it realy?

They don't seem to recall it, so why should we. :D

PS. Is the manx cup not a bit of a sore point for them anyway.

Cheap and mass coverage.

Four sides of the ground.

At the next live match, big cards held up by the fans, spelling out. 30 YEARS AND COUNTING

I know from previous topics we are not the best song writers on here, but a new song would be good, just for the occasion, bit like getting a birthday card. :D

There's loads of verses to this somewhere. What about a commemorative verse?

There’s an ale house in burnley I used to frequent,

I met Owen Coyle, his money was spent

He asked me to play, I answered him nay

‘cause I hate burnley @#/?s ‘til my dying day!

And it’s no, nay, never, no nay never no more

Will we play burnley @#/?s? No, never, no more!

Now burnley haven’t beaten us for 30 odd year

So charge your glasses and drink up your beer

They dream of Ewood but don’t know when

But they’ll still be sh*t and we’ll beat them again!

And it’s no, nay, never, no nay never no more

Will we play burnley @#/?s? No, never, no more!

Quite good.

Can we change to

Now burnley haven’t beat us for 30 odd year

So charge up your glasses and drink down your beer

Bit easier on the breathing control. :D after sampling a few pre match.

Burnleh vs Sheff Utd is on live here this afternoon - why, I can't imagine as viewing figures will be restricted to me and a handful of expat chimps at Toronto Zoo - but I shall be tuning in with a beer hopefully to see the next stage in the collapse of their play-off dreams after Preston beating Cardiff 6-0.

If (or when) when we stay up before the west brom game, it would be remiss for us to ignore the 30 year thing...bit of a long shot but is anyone in a position to print off 10,000 cards saying '30' or something like that?

this is about rovers' true traditional rivalry ie with burnley. Burnley would be shouting from the rooftops about it!

CAN ANYONE HELP?

Great idea but it won't be supported by the club.

Pity we don't have a "Garner Esq" plan for the play offs me thinks, only takes a few to create another piece of Rovers burnley folk lore.

Ummmmm

JW ask for the support of the fans in recent weeks, he owes us one, it cannot be allowed just to slip by.

As above, they certainly would remind us.
